Love him or hate him, Steve Austin knows how to make music. And when it comes to releasing the ninth and hopefully not last record, Pain is Warning, I am reminded on how much of a creative genius Steve Austin can be. Think of Austin as an underground music …

The way Tre Brown uses his lyrical gifts is a dissapointment.
It is typical gun and drugs hip hop that causes me to shake my head.

It is hard to believe that this album was recorded back in 2000. It feels like I bought it only recently, even though, chronologically, it must have been sometime in 2002. Well, I remember how I was making a superficial assessment of this album at the time. At first …

You have to wonder how some people manage to get a song in the charts, especially high in the charts and for me this is one of them.
Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce I just feel is a little pointless. Why Barbra was chosen as the focal point for …

The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …

Overview —“ High Speed Dirt, a music video released by Megadeth for their fifth effort, Countdown To Extinction, is a song and music video focused all about skydiving. It’s interesting that Megadeth chose to not release this song as a single yet still make a music video for it. …

Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
However, if there was ever a time when his self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop’ status was justified, the Thriller era was it. Jackson’s 1982 album release ‘Thriller’ was one of the largest commercial successes …

I’ve been a fan since I first heard Frankmusik’s break-out single “3 little words” at Last.fm. I couldn’t get enough of Frankmusik’s eclectic light and heady out-of-this-world pop melodies. There was so much anticipation for this album, his first one yet. It’s just too much auditory …

Taylor Swift’s song called, “You belong with me” is an extremely touching song that most teenagers can relate to.

It was my daughter’s 16 birthday and she wanted a guitar. We searched all over for the perfect one and finally found it. The one we chose was called an “Eleca” guitar. The sound is incrediable. It’s a rather large guitar but the sound quality makes it irresistable. It …

This is Pantera’s second album, the title comes from the movie The Exorcist. Released in 1992 and produced by Terry Date again, this album is far more aggressive than the last, tighter, darker, faster, and I don’t think it could have been much heavier. Mouth for war opens the …

Let me first preface this by saying that Regina Spektor’s “Fidelity” is my favorite music video of all time. Regina Spektor is one of the most adorable recording artists of this generation. She has a voice like no other. In my opinion, she is one of the most talented …
